Wow...what trip! This photo of Crater Lake has not been altered in any way, shape or form! I took it so I know it's for real. Can you imagine this gorgeous lake was just sitting here and it took me almost three years to see it? That is just shameful!

And if you are wondering how you find that "really good" Pinot Noir, just ask Ina Garten. The Barefoot Contessa taught me how to know when something is "really good!" She says that you buy 3 or 4 of what you think is the best of the best. You try, you taste and you sample each and when you find the "one" that tastes the best, that's the "really good" one.
